THE SKED: TNT Launches “King & Maxwell” Fairly Well

  Last night’s premiere telecast of KING & MAXWELL gave TNT a decent 0.6-0.7 rating in the 18-49 demo and 3.5M total viewers, an old-skewing result (only around one-quarter of total viewers were under 50) that...

THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3/11/12

> GCB gives, even while DST taketh away. ABC:  GCB is a very bad show, but not an unpopular one.  Its 2.3 inched up over last week’s premiere, at least in preliminary numbers, and seemed to squeak out a timeslot...
